Seven cases of visual field defects, caused by wartrauma were seen at Farabi Eye Hospital. None were referred by a neurologist. Four patients had 20/20 visions with normal fundi. One had 12/20, in both eyes, with normal fundi. Two patients presented fundus changes.
The visual field defects were seen in all these seven patients. Four had homonymous hemianopia, one had bilateral field restriction, one patient had homonymous quadrianopia, one had unilateral restriction of the visual field, and the last one had bilateral loss of the inferior fields. The Cat-scan of six patients indicated the lesion of occiput and occipital lobe. One patient had a diffuse cerebral lesion. -
Ewing sarcoma is about 10 % of bone tumours, in the form of lytic, sclerotic and mixed type. The lytic type erodes the whole bone in such a way that the auther would like to name it 'Vanishing' type and recognition of this radiological type is of great importance from differential point of view in the study of primary and secondry tumours of bones.

This paper reports trichotillomania in eight Iranian children (7 girls and 1 boy) .It is rarely seen in children and adolescents. Although some subjects are psychiatrically normal, but some suffer from depressive disorder, neurosis, or personality problems. Separation from key figure, denial of femininity/and inadequate mother-child relationship play important roles either in the etiology of trichotillomania or psychiatric disorders. Finally therapeutic interventi.ons according to the cultural factors were mentioned. Associate Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry, Tehran Univer sity. Formerly, chief, Child Psychiatric Dept.

This is a report of a very rare case of recurrent subclitoral abscess. Its etiology and the best treatment of the disease is here in discussed. We, the same as Sur, believe that marsupialization is the most promising treatment. Recurrent periclitoral abscess has been described previously5. s ome of the authors believe that it is part of the pilonidal disease. The first pilonidal cyst in 7 the clitoral region was introduced by Palmer (1957).
Another case of pilonidal sinus of clitoris was repor-2 ted by Betson . All of the researchers are not in this opinion that the disease is necessarily a pilonidal sinus 1 3,and, sometimes, there is not any hair in the epithelium lining of the cyst. One case of recurrent subclitoral abscess treated by marsupialization is presented here. -
The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, first reported in 1910, is a triad of cutaneous hemangioma, varicose veins, and soft tissue or bony hypertrophy. The varicosities are extensive involving the tributaries of the greater or lesser saphenous systems. Arteriogram are normal with no evidence of arteriovenous fistulas. Multiple ligation and stripping may worsen the condition, and treatment consists of wearing elastic supporting hose. A similar condition but associated with arteriovenous fistula is known as the Parkes Weber syndrome.

Propafenone HCI (p), is a relatively new Class IC antiarrhythmic agent. It has been reported to be superior to conventional antiarrhythmics in the control of supraventricular, ventricular and WPW associated tachyarrhythmias. It has been also shown to be well tolerated. In our study protocol, which extends over 2~ years period , we used (p) in 87 patients for management of various types of cardiac arrhythmias (most of whom were resistant to conventmonal antiarrhythmics) . Intravenously administered, (P) was effective in 85% of patients with paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (PRSVT), 75% of those with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) , 50% and 42% of those with refractory premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and ventricular tachycardia (V. Tach), respectively. Orally administered, (P) was effective in 73% of those with resistant PVCs and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSV Tach), and 75% of those with resistant sustained ventricular tachycardia (RSVT) •
